There is an entire world within each of us. While we come together to create one functioning human being - what is really happening internally to make it all work?
Our entire existence is made of different systems - all collaborating to keep us operating healthily on a mental, emotional, and physical level. But what happens when the systems don't operate smoothly? Just like any system, there can be conflicts that can make the process significantly more difficult. These “parts” are entities or “little beings” that live in our minds and manifest into physical or emotional reactions from traumatic events. Dr. Frank Anderson has spent decades of his life studying these parts and sharing his findings to help others utilize built-in resources like their “self-energy” to navigate their own traumas. Follow along as Sue Marriott and Dr. Anderson weave together psycho-pharmacology, trauma, neuroscience, attachment, and internal family systems.
“Imagination is a very powerful neuroplastic agent. So the work that we do in IFS - which is very much imaginary - absolutely has neurophysiological effects on neural networks on the brain and on the body. It's a beautiful intersection between psychotherapy and neuroscience, and we have more evidence to show the ways they're linked together.” - Dr. Frank Anderson
Ep 182 - About Frank Anderson and IFS
Dr. Frank Anderson is an author, psychiatrist, therapist, speaker and trauma specialist who’s spent the past three decades studying neuroscience and trauma treatment. He was a psychiatrist as the Trauma Center in Boston under the direction of Bessel van der Kolk, and was able to learn more about trauma while simultaneously continuing his quest of helping others heal. After meeting Dick Schwartz at a conference his career focus instantly came into full alignment, and he was able to integrate his knowledge of neuroscience and trauma treatment with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Anderson was the former chair and executive director of the Foundation for Self Leadership, an organization focusing on IFS research and the expansion of the IFS model beyond psychotherapy and authored the chapter “Who’s Taking What? Connecting Neuroscience, Psychopharmacology, and Internal Family Systems for Trauma.” He is the lead trainer and consultant for the IFS Institute, an advisor to the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP), and maintains a private practice. He is passionate about teaching, enjoy providing therapy consultations and trauma informed IFS-related workshops throughout the world.
This is perfection... exactly what I've come to through my own healing journey... grounded in work by Bessel van Der Kolk, Richard Schwartz, Stephen Porges, Alan Schore, et al. With an understanding of trauma and its impact on the brain as well as its impact on development using attachment theory viewed through the lens of polyvagal theory and the autonomic nervous system's response to stress, we begin to see how parts come into existence and express themselves. A fine overlay is found in The Haunted Self by Onno van der Hart, Ph.D.,which refers to "Apparently Normal Parts" and "Emotional Parts." Thanks for sharing this fine video.
When Healthcare is a 'for profit business'...its buyer/consumer beware. Very sad for the vulnerable population. I'm learning IFS through a book as I cannot afford professional help. Thank you from the bottom of my trauma- based psyche for all your help and insights. We do heal from within and I find I am my own best/worst healer...lol.
Thank You for the❣️...❤️🩹🙏...I am especially grateful to Jay Earley for his IFS book on Self Healing. I am 68 yrs old and have spent my entire life exploring the depths of my psyche through explorations of the heart... trying to heal from a multiplicity of co-morbidity resulting from a diverse internal structure of ptsd related childhood parts. It's been like having MPD...only I knew...through intuition alone... there had to be a point of Truth I possessed..."The Self"...( Jesus loved me this I knew )... somewhere within myself....somewhere. I knew her, I remembered her... if only in foggy, mystical moments. Clarity is emerging...slowly and rhythmically, like waves over the boundaries of softening shores. Time surrendering to the eternal 🌊 wave.
Excellent presentation🙏 Thanks🙏
The ideas around attachment theory, make so much sense to me.
This Dr. I s the “Truth”, next level Ty!
That is super interesting.
My migraines are ALWAYS triggered by overwhelming stress, after I got into a fight hissing cat, tiger claw rage response. Severe inner distress triggered by some outer thing...
I'm trying to work out what my migraines are doing for me.
Good people, doing good work.
Loving.curiosity...
.
Love that ..Ill try that.when i have my panic attacks
This was GREAT!!! I'm interested in a study group, how can I sign up for one? Thank you!!!
Me too need to study it
Ill join ya
Me three!
Woohoo, thanks for this Frank!!!
I had hypnosis over 20 years ago. It was brilliant. Mental health therapists and psychologists dismissed the efficacy of hypnosis at the time with an arrogance reflective of narcissism that bordered on delusion. The hypnoanalist used parts therapy over 20 years ago. My experience of psychologists compared to hypnoanalysis is that the former was a waste of time. They are all using mindfulness now. So after 20 years, the licensed mental health therapists are finally acknowledging the benefits of just meditation. Of course, they are now trying to monopolise mindfulness training as their own invention rather than a broadly practised buddhist technique. Pathological arrogance cashing in on claiming a niche education for the traumatised.
this was really insightful! do you mind posting the audio version of these videos on audea? I'd like to listen more than watch and that's where I get most of my audio content..
We will look into Audea! This is a platform we are unfamiliar with, but we definitely want to continue expanding! Thanks for asking and for suggesting the platform.
His observation about his son saying, "of course I go to papa about money, and Daddy about cooking!" is so interesting to me. His family is such a valuable living social experiment in real time. Like how does it affect the development of a boy to grow up in a home with zero females? I bet they forget to teach him about menstrual cycles and other things boys with sisters are exposed to. And based on what I have seen in SF, white men, whether gay or straight, are still the thought leaders in a community, or even they just set behavioral precedent by proximity, where straight men adjacent to gay men are different. There is less street harassment (of women) better style, more same sex vulnerability and physical affection, without any stigma. Gay men can be the best antidote to misogyny, as a community that has survived tragedy and minority-based oppression. Trauma-informed people have the potential to be less likely to perpetuate discrimination. The next generation might be a different story.
✅ very good
Hold on - I thought the parasympathetic state was rest and digest.
But when I am in a freeze response, I still feel also anxious and stressed, and for sure I am NOT in a rest and digest state. In a Freeze response you don't digest well either, you are NOT relaxed.
Stephan Porges polyvagal theory explains that the parasympathetic system has two branches, one for rest and digest, and the other (called the dorsal vagal system) which is the oldest part of the nervous system - the reptile response - responsible for the freeze response in the face of extreme threats.

The problem with IFS is that if you move trough, you are going to find parts everywhere and your going to draw complicated diagrams in the style of Berne to describe the relationship between parts and in the end the conciseness is lost! A model not still based on evidence must be so complicated?
It is evidence based.

I don't agree with this guy's understand of Parts and IFS
Hey, keep up the work. You will enjoy this channel 👉 #drjohnaking. I find him informative, yet down to earth.
